Hello, I am wanting a mbp and I am unsure which to go with. I like the mobility of the 13" but I'm not sure if it will be powerfull enough. My current machine is a Hp with a quad core phenom at 1.8 ghz, 9400gt, and 4 gig of ddr2. I work with photoshop extended, after effects, premeire pro, lightwave, blender, and I hope to use xcode. I am sort of ok with the render times on my current machine. Would the 13" do good, or would I be better of with the 15"" 2.66?
 
Sure you wouldn't want the 15" for the extra screen real estate? I know when I've got photoshop open, all those tool windows really eat up space (but they're so darn handy).
 
I would be buying used because its out of budget and i dont like buying used
 
So im going to try to stick with the 13 unless it really doesnt do well in handling my things. I will be using another monitor sometimes also.
